I'm continually impressed with this series -- the books are so short, and you'd think would be pretty repetitive (there are a LOT of clubs), but somehow Nuurali manages to tell a completely different story every time, and they all have great messages. This one is about Sadiq deciding which role he wants to compete in for the class elections. I found it a little less strong than some of the others, because when conflict ensues (Manny also wants to run for president), it's resolved by Sadiq's friend deciding that Sadiq would do a better job in the role. While it's a perfectly plausible scenario, it would be nice to see a chapter book main character decide to step back or suffer defeat instead -- thus speaks the children's librarian who's read way too many of these kinds of books.
